How to Join

To Prospective JAHF Members:

Benefits of membership include access to the secure, password-protected section of this website and automatic enrollment in our closed email list, intended for the exclusive use of members of the Japan Art History Forum. You must join the Forum prior to sending and receiving messages from the list. While we welcome occasional announcements of, for example, new publications and museum exhibitions of general interest to our group, we prefer you not submit to the email list announcements of commercial gallery exhibitions, sales, or other professional and commercial services. If you have any question about the propriety of a possible posting to our email list, please contact the President or another officer.

Annual JAHF membership dues are US$10.00. Largely for the convenience of our foreign members, we accept multiple year payments (up to five) at one time to save cashier's check service fees. Payment can be made by personal, institutional, traveler's checks, or cashier's check in U.S. dollars made out to: Japan Art History Forum. NO CASH PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Send checks to our treasurer and be sure to include your email address on the check or on a separate piece of paper:

Prof. Melissa McCormick
JAHF Treasurer
Dept. of East Asian Languages
& Civilizations Harvard University
2 Divinity Avenue
Cambridge, MA 02138 USA

If you have questions and prefer contact by phone, fax, or email, her contact information is: Tel: 617-496-2276 / Fax: 617-496-6040 mccorm@fas.harvard.edu

If you wish to pay by electronic bank transfer to our U.S. bank account instead, please contact Dr. McCormick for instructions.

Also please send LIST OWNER Frank Chance chancefl@sas.upenn.edu some basic information in the form of a self-introduction: Name, institutional affiliation and position (if any), address, telephone number, fax number, brief statement of areas of interest in Japanese art history, and current projects (if appropriate).

Unless you specifically request otherwise, this information will be shared with other JAHF members through the list. Please note that joining implies willingness to have at least your name and email address distributed internally to other members of the group. In addition, unless instructed otherwise, all information you provide will be posted on the secure (members only) section of our website. If you have a web site address we can link that to the web site info on you also.

Your name will be added immediately to the subscribers' list on a temporary basis, until your payment has been received. If you do not begin to receive mail from the JAHF-list within about a week of your initial reply to list owner, Frank Chance chancefl@sas.upenn.edu please send him a reminder message.
